that's life..err..the internet I mean :)

HA HA HA! We are back up. I upgraded our pckage to allow 7gB of transfer. We were up to about 6.5 this month. I was not expecting that.

You know, maybe you should take your avatar, and store it here, instead of on vw, so you'll decrease your bw usage a little

[Smoked1]

Good idea. It's taken care of. Thanks

Smoked1:

Another good way to save on bandwidth and speed up your page is to use JPEG compression for your images. Its very easy to use with Paint Shop Pro 6 +. You can compress the images to almost 1/10 of their original size. If you need help figuring out how to do it just let me know.

[Smoked1]

Yeah, I know howto do it. I do it with all of my thumbnails for the reviews. I have not attacked the other pics on the site though. Keep in mind that the site was not made by me. I am actually having some work done on it pretty soon.

[aoC_PRoZaK]

hmm, but that is the proof that we have visitors 8) hmmm, bryce, maybe it would be more simple to redesign the page and make our own shidd

[Smoked1]

Unfortionatly my design skills are pretty limited and whatever design comes after this will have to be better than what we have now. I would like to have a new design though. I would like something that i can just open up in dreamweaver and edit with ease. Right now many parts of the site have to be done in notepad. I know some HTML and how to create images but my artistic ability is lacking. Plus I don't even have the time. Some guy said that he would make the whole site fully editable in dreamweaver for 100.00. If he does a good job I may have him add some functionality to it also. I was thinking maybe a consumer reviews page. Well, that type of stuff is at least 3 months down the road anyway. If you have any ideas though, I am open to them.

[aoC_PRoZaK]

ya mean 100 $? well, seems that good work is expensive. i will have some friends interviewed bout the stuff and check out some possibilities to make or work easier and more cost and time efficient. :rolleyes:

hey smoked1 - i dont know dreamweaver (could learn quickly i'm sure if i had it), or flash (same here, need money!), so i probably couldnt help too much with the functionality you want, but i could help with the design if you want some. i could help in my spare time (between finding a better job and getting married).

this is the site that i work with: http://www.archives.state.al.us
i did all the graphics and code for that page, and the entire site. the rest of the site could still use some work, but the homepage is done. anyway. just thought i'd throw that out there.

later.

[Smoked1]

Let me know what you come up with aoC_PRoZaK.
Aemon_ I would want someone that has experience with dreamweaver.

[Aemon_]

alright, just thought i'd offer my services.

later.

[Smoked1]

It's kewl man. I appriciate it. I just want to make sure that whatever gets done is done by someone I can bitch at later if it gets jacked.

[Aemon_]

yeah, i dont take well to bitching :lol: but if you need any just general design help, not coding, and some graphics. i'd be glad to help. did you look at that site? just curious.

later.

[Smoked1]

Sounds good actually. There could be a little something for ya down the road. I did take a look at the site and it loks pretty good. Shoot me an email so that I have your info.
